Pray for Japan: updated

Updates below:

From The Corner, video of the earthquake.

From FoxNews, the tsunami...it looks like the water is sweeping in at least 55 mph or more, looking at the rate of the water vs the rate of the cars on the highway.

There are a couple of other videos at that FoxNews link.


BBC coverage here.
CNN coverage here.

Book of  Job, chapter 38:
 4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
   Tell me, if you understand.
5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
   Who stretched a measuring line across it?
6 On what were its footings set,
   or who laid its cornerstone—
7 while the morning stars sang together
   and all the angels shouted for joy?
 8 “Who shut up the sea behind doors
   when it burst forth from the womb,
9 when I made the clouds its garment
   and wrapped it in thick darkness,
10 when I fixed limits for it
   and set its doors and bars in place,
11 when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther;
   here is where your proud waves halt’?

The magnitude of the destruction is impossible to imagine.
Lord have mercy on Your children.

UPDATE:

Nuclear problems likely, more here, and here
